GaraDry® is founded by Ashley Smith
In 2009 GaraDry® is founded, and begins to sell its range of garage door seals into the UK market.
GaraDry® LLC is a U.S.-based company proudly serving customers nationwide since 2017. Headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia, we are committed to delivering high-quality garage door sealing solutions backed by fast, reliable service.
All of our products are stocked and ready for immediate dispatch from our Tennessee warehouse, ensuring quick delivery times across the United States. Whether you're a homeowner or a professional contractor, GaraDry® LLC provides dependable solutions designed to perform in real American conditions.
While GaraDry® LLC operates as an American company, the brand itself traces its origins back to a small village in England, where it was first founded in 2009. The company began with a simple but ambitious goal: to engineer the world’s most effective garage door threshold seals.
From those early beginnings, GaraDry® quickly built a reputation for innovation, quality, and performance. Combining practical design with real-world problem solving, the brand grew from a small British startup into a globally recognized name trusted by customers around the world.
GaraDry® was founded by Mr. Ashley Smith, an industrial designer from England and a graduate of the University of Central Lancashire (BA Industrial Design). With over 30 years of combined experience in product design, engineering, and the garage door industry, Ashley has led the company with a clear focus on performance, durability, and continuous innovation.
Every GaraDry® product is designed using advanced engineering principles and manufactured with precision processes to ensure long-lasting performance. Our threshold seals are built to protect against water intrusion, debris, snow, extreme temperatures, and UV exposure, helping to keep garages clean, dry, and energy efficient.
While our products are engineered using proven British design expertise, all U.S. orders are fulfilled locally from our Tennessee distribution center. This allows us to combine international engineering excellence with fast, dependable American shipping.
GaraDry® is proud to be recognized globally for quality and innovation. The company was honored with the King’s Award for Enterprise in International Trade in 2023—one of the UK’s highest business achievements.
In the United States, GaraDry® products are trusted by leading organizations across a range of industries, including automotive, aerospace, and advanced manufacturing, where reliability and performance are essential.
Despite our international growth, GaraDry® remains a family-run business at heart. We are committed to providing honest advice, expert support, fast delivery, and exceptional value to every customer we serve.
In 2009 GaraDry® is founded, and begins to sell its range of garage door seals into the UK market.
Following initial success in the UK market, GaraDry® begins exporting into Europe, and shortly after to Australia and New Zealand.
Due to the success of the products in Europe, GaraDry® LLC is formed to supply the garage door thresholds to the American market.
GaraDry® develops its own brand adhesive & sealant, specifically for use in installing GaraDry® thresholds. The adhesive is stronger, and longer lasting than the previous off-the-shelf product.
Due to rapid growth, and in order to get products into customer hands quicker, a distribution center is set up in Knoxville, TN, allowing GaraDry® to cut its delivery times.
GaraDry® launches its 2" high garage door threshold. The largest floor threshold available, capable of holding back large volumes of water.
In the middle of 2025 GaraDry® moves into a new purpose-built office and warehouse in North West England to better serve its customers.
